Here is a rundown of these less-than-ideal Texan cities:

However, claiming the unenviable #2 spot is Port Arthur, tagged as the epitome of a 'plant city.' Fears loom over its dwindling population, currently at 55,000, with officials worrying it might dip below 50,000, rendering it ineligible for crucial federal grants.

These rankings shine a light on the multifaceted challenges these cities grapple with, shedding a stark contrast to the usual narrative of the Lone Star State.
